Shyam Coach Engineers

Our workshop is over at VKIA Road No 17, number 9. It’s an industrial area, so it’s usually dusty and noisy with trucks moving around. Shyam Coach Engineers handles a lot of metal work and mechanical stuff for vehicles. We have been in this shed for a good while now. The floors have oil stains that won't come out, but that’s just how a workshop looks. We deal with heavy parts and welding most of the day. It’s hard work and your hands get dirty five minutes after starting. We have a small crew of workers. We don't spend much time on the computer or writing things down unless it's an order. Most of the guys here have been working with machines since they were young. We know the sound of a motor that isn’t running right. The sun hits the metal roof in the afternoon and it gets pretty warm inside. We just keep the fans going and finish the jobs. We don’t have a front desk or anything like that. You just walk into the bay and talk to whoever isn't under a chassis. It’s a straightforward place. We handle the technical side of the coaches and big frames. It’s what we know. We stay late if a job needs finishing. That’s just the way things are at Road 17. It's not glamorous but it's what we do every day.
